H2S Alive

This course is the industry standard in Canada and is recognized around the world.

Also known as sour gas, H2S (Hydrogen Sulphide Gas) is colourless, heavier than air, and extremely toxic. In low concentrations, it has a rotten egg smell and causes eye and throat irritation. H2S can also deaden your sense of smell and at higher concentrations, it can cause death.

For these reasons, training in how to protect yourself is crucial in any industry where H2S might be encountered.
